Mezzacappa Candidacy Condemned in GOP LTE

Ben Miller, a Republican, is "embarrassed to be affiliated with certain members of our party and their inappropriate actions — specifically, county council candidate Tricia Mezzacappa and Ronnie DelBacco, who are making fools of themselves as they attempt to cause problems for Republicans such as Peg Ferraro, who has served the county for many years."

Thank you for rallying her base O'Hare, all this press is stoking the engine deep in the bowels of the Mezzacappa Express. It's gaining speed and as we all know inertia is a powerful force, in a few weeks it will be akin to a stampeding Rhinoceros galloping across the savannah, equal parts beauty and raw aggression.

As I have asked, name one decent Republican who has endorsed Tricia Mezzacappa. She has actually had to impersonate someone to deceive people into thinking she has support. People will not support a racist who throws the "N" word around, who fantasizes about putting "hollow point" bullets through people skulls, who threatens to drag an elected official to the river and drown her, and who uses the language and graphics she uses on her hate blog.

Thank you for the kind words, Bernie. I stand behind everything I wrote in my letter. I agree with you that it's rather telling there are many people speaking out against Mezzacappa publicly, while there is nobody willing to put their reputations on the line and support her.

With regards to my current comments and letter, well, they were prompted by the coward using the David Jones fake email. I hadn't been active in the party since I moved out of Northampton County in 2006 (I've since moved back with my family, but have remained inactive due to some medical issues). When I read that email and saw the sheer cowardice of someone hiding behind the veil of anonymity and casting stones at others who I know to be good people and loyal public servants, it drove me to action.

Having an R behind one's name does not give them the right to act or speak inappropriately and still get the party's support. If that were the case, I would immediately leave the party. I am a Republican, but my ultimate goal is a responsible government with serious leaders who act prudently and are accountable for their decisions. I don't blindly support anybody, simply because they are a Republican and certainly not someone who hides in the bushes and snipes at others.

Ms. Mezzacappa clearly has nothing of substance to offer. Instead of presenting ideas on how to address the county's problems and sharing her position on specific issues, she spends her times criticizing the ideas put forth by others and insulting them on a personal level. The reason she does this is because she has no ideas and no discernible platform on which to run. That is not the mark of a leader, it's the mark of someone who is running to add another line to their resume and likes to see their name in the paper.

She voted for Obama. "She" has an Adam's Apple. She cavorts with swine and is in court more often than any 10 Obamaphone users. She hates cops and doesn't respect authority. She's rude and inconsiderate.

@7:03 your mockery of mental illness shows a typical liberal willingness to abandon the "PC" lifestyle attack "soft targets" to disparage an opponent. Please come to the upcoming 9-12 project meeting at the Charles Chrin Community Center and meet the fine people you so crudely paint as mental patients, you will be pleasantly surprised by the compassion they show towards all Americans.

There will come a time when the Tea Party bridges the gap between left & right to form a new coalition stronger than any third party has in past history. Mezzacappa may be polarizing due to sensational news coverage of her recent legal matters but make no mistake she has a lot of grey matter and if elected will employ it to restructure the fabric of our political system.
